Step 3: Combine Cream and Condensed Milk
Gently fold the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract into the whipped cream. Use a spatula to mix carefully, keeping the mixture fluffy. This is your sweet, creamy base.
Step 4: Mix in the Fruits
Add your prepped fruits into the creamy mixture. If you like, also fold in optional add-ins like mini marshmallows, nuts, or coconut. Stir until everything is evenly coated with the creamy base.
Step 5: Transfer to a Freezer-Safe Container
Choose a container that’s wide and shallow for faster freezing. Spoon the fruit salad mixture into the container and smooth the top with a spatula.
Step 6: Freeze
Cover the container tightly with a lid or plastic wrap. Freeze for at least 4–6 hours, or until the dessert is firm enough to scoop. For best results, let it freeze overnight.
Step 7: Serve
Before serving, let the dessert sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes to make scooping easier. Serve in bowls or cups, and optionally garnish with fresh fruit, a drizzle of honey, or a sprinkle of shredded coconut.
Tips for the Perfect Frozen Fruit Salad Dessert
- Balance sweetness: If your fruits are very sweet, you can reduce the condensed milk slightly.
- Avoid freezer burn: Cover tightly to prevent ice crystals from forming.
- Texture matters: Softer fruits like bananas or kiwi can become mushy when frozen—add them fresh on top before serving if desired.
- Make it ahead: This dessert is perfect for parties and gatherings; just make sure to give it a few minutes to soften before serving.
